"Suvai," meaning "taste" in Tamil, is a collection of recipes that have nourished and delighted the children of Karunai Illam for decades. These recipes, passed down through generations and adapted to local ingredients, represent the heart and soul of the Illam kitchen.

"This cookbook is a tribute to Jean Watson's legacy and the vibrant culinary heritage of Karunai Illam," explains Sankar Ramasamy, the Trust’s Chair. "We hope that through 'Suvai,' people will discover the rich flavours of South Indian cuisine and the stories behind the dishes that have become beloved staples at the Illam."

In partnership with the DHAN (Development for Humane Action) Foundation, the Illam is a sustainable operation with local support and management, but funding is needed to ensure its longevity. Completely run by volunteers, the Trust raises funds for the Ilam through fundraising and generous donors. The sale of the cookbook is one of the biggest fundraising projects organised so far.

“The money we raise through donations and fundraising goes to the Illam for the children. We are proud of what has been achieved at the Illam over the past 40 years and recognise we have to look forward to ensure that Jean’s legacy lives on,” explains Sankar.
